When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electricity bills and protect yourself against rising electricity rates in the future. How much you can save depends on the utility rates, subsidies and feed in tariffs in your area, but also on if you can combine your solar system with other appliances such as a heat pump [LINK TO SECTION ON HEAT PUMP PAGE TALKING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THIS]

When you install solar panels on your property, you will still be connected to the grid. This allows you to draw from the grid when your system is not producing all of the power that you need, and send power back to the grid when you produce more than you use. It is possible to off grid with a solar energy system that includes battery storage. Read more about your options here [LINK TO STORAGE AND BACKUP]

Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill or even cut the amount you owe to 0 CHF, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use.

Solar panel systems are made of durable tempered glass and require for the 25 to 35 years that they will generate power. In most cases, you don’t even need to clean your solar panels regularly. If something does happen, you are protected by I.ON's installation warranty for the first X years. After that you can purchase an additional care package for full service. [LINK]

If your solar panel system is connected to the grid, it will shut off in the event of a blackout. This is to prevent emergency responders and electricity utility repair-people from being injured by your panels sending power back to the grid. However, there are certain inverters you can buy that provide backup power in a blackout when paired with a battery. [LINK]
